Wow! You've got me beat. Sliced part of my right kneecap off, compressed my heels enough on a fall that they both exploded, broke a thumb, fractured the right big toe, and lost way too much akin on long, unfortunate slide down a rough slab (I knew it was bad when I was waiting in a darkened room in the hospital for a doc to show up and okay a morphine drip so I could get cleaned up, and nurses would pause outside the open door and murmur, "Sh#t, that doesn't look good.")

More from my FALLING injury collection than climbing injury collection: a couple pieces of titanium, resulting from blown out lower right orbital, three broken bones in the right foot, including talus bone, and one full week in the Auckland City Hospital in New Zealand. Drunken tree climbing... Soon after, I discovered the merits of a rope.

Sailing - Deformed little finger virtually no use of flexor, extensor tendons left.
Soccer - ACL
Hockey - Broken wrist (fell refereeing - lame), toe (from slapshot).
Climbing - Just soft tissue stuff minor stuff. Exercise rotator cuffs to keep them strong and avoid impinging on bone spurs, belayer's neck pain, etc.
